He's intelligent enough to know that by 2030, which is when he'll face reelection, this country is going to be in a world of stinking hurt, and even the Magic R after his name won't mean much.

He's stupid enough to think that his performative bullshit in 2025 is going to provide some sort of political or personal protection by the time he has to face the voters again, whether in an election or in some sort of face-to-face interaction with actual voters.

In the meantime, wait and see how he votes on gutting Medicaid with the budget bill. If he votes "yes", then "duh". If he votes "no", it will only be once all the votes necessary to pass it have been secured.
